Get The Facts Before Pleading Guilty to a California DUI Charge
Very few DUI cases are hopeless. Skilled California DUI defense attorneys help many people escape conviction and avoid drivers license suspensions—even when their BAC appears to read above the legal limit.
We designed this website to educate you about the DUI process, to dispel myths and misconceptions, and hopefully to inspire many of you to fight back.
We invite you to watch our 30 minute video on how to fight a California DUI case. We answer many common questions: Do I have to go to court? What’s the worst that can happen? Can I keep my record clean? Can I still drive? What should I do first?
DUI prosecutions almost always rest on questionable evidence. Error and contamination plague the breath test machines and the blood testing process. Poorly trained and overzealous police write reports that exaggerate suspects’ “appearance of intoxication.” They jump to conclusions just because they smell alcohol. They mistake peoples’ exhaustion and intimidation for being drunk.
The alleged “science” behind “impairment recognition” is nothing more than pseudo-science, often times junk science. It leads to the wrongful arrest and prosecution (and tragically, the conviction) of many innocent persons.

San Bernardino County DUI Attorney Michael Scafiddi
 Prior to becoming one of San Bernardino County’s premiere DUI attorneys, Michael Scafiddi spent years as an officer, sergeant and corporal with the Ontario CA police.

Police and DUI prosecutors would like you to believe the case against you rests on solid scientific evidence...that resistance is futile. In reality, their cases rest on the subjective opinions of biased officers and on pseudo-science open to attack. With a knowledgeable and aggressive California DUI defense lawyer behind you, many DUI cases can either be reduced to a lesser charge, dismissed due to faulty police work or defeated at jury trial.
